My mother recommended I overseed my lawn, which is Bermuda Common, for the winter season with ryegrass. I took her advice and the seed she gave me, but after only having seeded the front lawn (thank goodness), I found that the seed was actually a mixture. The mixture contains 23.64% Barverdi Annuall Ryegrass, 19.89% TF66 Tall Fescue, 19.89% Vegas Tall Fescue, 19.78% Barlexas Tall Fescue; 14.94% Barrera Tall Fescue; and 1.86% Other Crop Seed/ Inert Matter / Weed Seed. I knew that the ryegrass was annual and that was fine, but what do I do about the fescue. Is it going to look bad, is it going to compete, how do I get rid of it? Any advice is much appreciated! Thanks in advance! Roxanna

Roxanna, I think you will be ok. It all depends where you live. If it gets hot enough to affect the Fescue it will go away fast in the summer. If it does not go away, then overseed with Rebel3. You will have a wonderful lawn and be very happy. Be sure to mow real low before overseeding to get an even cover.

The heat of the summer will kill all of the foreign grasses to your Burmuda.
